    giantsnation, (Go GNTS!)
    When you say granulars dor you mean dichlor or calcium-hypochlorite?
    Your chlorination plan may work for you but you will have to test your CYA level regularly (weekly) and adjust your target FC accordingly. One problem you'll face running high CYA will occur when you have to shock the pool, you'll need alot of chlorine to get to shock level and it will take a long time to get back to normal.
    The advice generally given on this forum is to find the CYA level that works for you and your pool and the maintain FC with unstabilized chlorine.

    I believe dichlor, which oddly enough I found out this morning in another pool forum that these granulars (http://www.lesliespool.com/Home/Pool...ine/12055.html) should not be mixed with tablet feeder.

    So maybe the conclusion is to use the tablet chlorinator with a liquid chlorine as a shock. Any other suggestions for a convenience (inexpensive) feeding system? The Liquidator has been suggested but I know liquid can get expense as well as raise the PH.

    Yes, after a couple of years on this forum I don't feel so dumb anymore. I am working towards being a big tall smart guy, but that is a ways off.
    If you can afford a swimming pool and computer, you can probably afford to help keep the PoolForum alive. Please be a responsible member and subscribe today. You'll probably save more than the membership fee on your first trip to the pool store. BTG
